Help! I am a BSN nursing student who will graduate in two weeks and I have a big decision to make. I have received a job offer on the step-down unit where I did my senior residency. I loved the people I worked with, but my dream is to a be a pediatric/nursery nurse. The problem is that my position on the step-down unit starts a week after graduation as a GN, which is before I will even get to interview for the pediatric/nursery positions I have applied for. Additionally, I will have to sign an 18 month contract at the step-down unit hospital. They are also in different cities. The job offer is in a small city where I went to school and the pedi/nursery jobs I have applied to are in San Antonio where my family currently lives. I've been going back and forth on taking the sure thing job and getting much needed experience or taking a risk that I will get a pedi/nursery job in San Antonio. I don't want to turn down a great opportunity, but at the same time I don't want to risk missing out on my dream job! Any suggestions?!?!
